We had the 2004 and enjoyed it, so why not grab the 2005 at a lousy stinking seven dollars....especially with the economy in the toilet, a cheap find is always welcome.Cherry, vanilla, and oak on the nose.
A bit of everything really, all in harmony. A dash of fruit – plums and blackberries - a pinch of acid, a hint of spice, a dollop of vanilla, and a suggestion of oak.
Some spices really come through – dried Italian spices with a slight bit of anise and menthol as well.
Day two brings more of the same though the nose is more muted and the there's quite a bit more in terms of spice on the palate and finish.
This is a no-brainer.
Wine: 7.5
